Mage? Spell Engineer!

"I don't have any gifts, and I can't express my gratitude, so I'll give you the new version of the technical manual of the spell string." Rorschach casually took out the new scroll book from the ring. Richard took the manual but refused Rorschach's thanks: "You saved my life, what more do you need to express?"

"Oh wait, I think I really have a gift to give." Luo Xia took out another small car from the ring.

At first glance, this car looks similar to the alloy toy model of his previous life, and the scale is close to 1/64. But this was the result of Rorschach using the [Ether Membrane Space Compression Technique] on a real car. He first reduced one car to a 1/4 scale to facilitate engineers to study the entire system. Later, after the mission was completed, Rorschach found that he could continue to drive it. .

Then the volume is continuously compressed, and the ether membrane is its coating. Rorschach thought about it until he couldn't find it. Today he found it in the ring space and just gave it to Rick.

"Toy?"

"Haha, it is indeed. But it will gradually grow, or if you destroy the ether membrane, it can be enlarged instantly. Be careful not to be crushed by the 'toy' weighing several tons."

"This" Richard didn't want to accept any more gifts from Rorschach, but the car was very beautiful, and its miniature and delicate nature naturally attracted boys, so driven by curiosity and love, he accepted it anyway.

"If you really want to thank me, help find a way to donate it to His Majesty the Emperor. Byrne's car factory is willing to present a luxury car to His Majesty as a congratulation."

"What are your intentions?"

"In this way, cars will become popular among rich people. What works first and what works first will bring about results."

"Really?" Richard was a little confused.

Rorschach was very hurt: "Really! You have to believe me!" This is indeed one of the purposes.

After bidding farewell to his friends, Rorschach flew towards the small village with a letter home that Franz had not yet sent. This is the last task Rorschach has to complete on this trip, to take the old Merkle family to Byrne.

Richard's station is on the western front of the battlefield, so Rorschach's trip this time was lengthened a lot, but it was not in vain because it was closer to the old Mekler's home.

No wonder there was no news about this kid after he enlisted in the army. Rorschach was speechless and read Franz's autographed letter first. The handwriting was sloppy and he also wrote the wrong address. He didn't know how to send it without filling in the zip code. There is a ghost! You can't let a mage who knows prophecy work in the postal service, right?

The latest letter was also crooked, and Rorschach could tell at a glance that it was written on Tower of Stars manuscript paper. They were really nice to Franz

"Dear Mom, Dad, and Angel:

"My troops suffered a huge defeat. The Yankees conjured several big monsters onto the battlefield. You can never imagine how tall and terrifying they are. My commander died and his comrades died. Although the Yankees captured Me, but when Big Brother comes, the Southerners are afraid of Big Brother.

"Brother Rorschach supports me to continue joining the army, so don't worry about me. I will definitely be able to build a big estate and let Mekler be canonized as a noble surname by His Majesty the Emperor himself."

Just dream big while cleaning the toilet, and hope that Franz can successfully graduate from the military academy after the war. This is how Rorschach ruthlessly suppressed his younger brother's dream of making contributions.

This is the only way Rorschach can think of for the time being that can satisfy the expectations of his younger brother, himself, and the Mecklers at the same time - to join the army, learn culture, and stay away from the front line.

In the time it took to read the two letters, Rorschach was almost in the village.

As soon as he approached the town, he felt something strange about the magic, and the strangeness was very familiar. Rorschach frowned, and deliberately slowed down his sprinting speed when passing by the resident mage's tower, and used his own perception to roughly explore it.

The magic circle was idling as if no one was there.

I don’t know what the situation in the village is like. Rorschach’s face darkened. There was no mention of such a situation in the correspondence between himself and Merkler. Only Franz mentioned it, saying that whether in the village or in the town, the activities were getting worse. It's getting richer.

I didn't expect that the so-called "activities" were related to the religious group. In fact, this is abnormal. It stands to reason that ordinary people would not tighten their belts during the war, so how could small towns and villages still live happily?

Either life has really gotten better like in the Special Administrative Region, or...

Rorschach originally planned to remove his invisibility at the entrance of the village, but now he changed his focus and flew all the way to the mill, the source of the abnormal magic.

Now a large crowd gathered at the mill. What are they going to do? Rorschach stood beside them, and these unaware villagers listened to the miller stepping on the haystack and shouting:

"You guys said, why has the food production improved?"

"Because of the blessing of the gods!"

"Yes, you, me, him. Everyone here is a righteous person who knows how to be grateful." The miller's elegant and popular sentences intertwined to encourage the villagers below:

"With so much food, what are you going to do?"

"Let's eat." "Exchange some money to make new clothes." "Wine wine."

The miller interrupted the villagers' chatter: "Wrong, big mistake! Your grain will be confiscated! The empire is at war now, so it would be nice not to arrest you and send you to the front line. Soon, a new expropriation order will be issued We will come down, this time is different from before, don’t expect to keep the food in your hands.

"If you have ten pots, nine pots will be taken away. If you only have five pots, you will be sent to the front line together with the food. If you don't believe it, ask the village chief! He will ask you to take out the food in a friendly manner. No. If you are willing, I will come with my food collection team to greet you!"

Suddenly the villagers couldn't calm down, and they began to hesitate to ask the old village chief directly.

The miller immediately said: "But I have a way to make you not have to hand in the grain! Just like I said that I would do it, and I could make the grain more abundant."

"Resisting the tax will lead to death!" The older villagers had more experience and knew that those lackeys with guns would not show mercy when pulling the trigger.

"Believe it or not! If you really follow the empire's collection method, you can survive after handing in the grain, but you will still be dead in winter or the beginning of next spring!" The miller didn't care about the attitude of the opponents: "Those who believe in me and are brave enough, come to the mill tonight to gather." After saying that, he jumped off the haystack and slammed the door of the mill, leaving the villagers looking at each other in bewilderment.

"." Rorschach listened to the miller's speech honestly. He was a little worried about the situation of old Merkler and the village chief.

He came to the village chief's house in an instant, but it was empty. The door was closed, and the house was still tidy. The hunting rifle hanging on the head of the bed was gone, leaving only the horseshoe hanger.

Rorschach didn't stop and immediately found Merkler's house.

The current Merkle family home is the most impressive house in the village. When Rorschach first returned to the village, he still lived in a medieval farmhouse with only one room and a large bunk bed. Now that he has moved back from the town, Merkle invited stonemasons and bricklayers to move the two-story building in the town to the village, and with the fenced front and back yards, it is very comfortable.

Except for the mismatch between the fields and the manor under the name, the "Merkle Manor" is not bad in other aspects, after all, the land here cannot be freely transferred. But then again, as long as Rorschach continues to remit money, they will sooner or later become the richest people in the town.

Rorschach penetrated the courtyard and walls without any obstacles, and saw the old couple and the bearded village chief in the guest room.

The village chief was holding a wooden box in his hand, which was the one Rorschach gave him before he left last time. There were still a lot of gold coins left in it, shining under the kerosene lamp.
